Haken Audio Continuum Competition: Win a Slim Continuum with your own playing technique
Haken Audio is launching its first Continuum Competition,
with a Slim70, a Slim46, and a Slim21 Continuum up for grabs.
The idea: show off a unique playing technique you developed yourself and mastered on a non-Continuum instrument. The winners won’t be picked as “the better musicians” but as the players the judges think will be the best fit for learning the Continuum.
How to enter
- Post a YouTube video of your technique.
- Post a second video explaining how you developed and mastered it.
- Keep both to 1 minute or less, tag @HakenAudio, and add #ContinuumCompetition to the title.
- Email both links to

Continuum players are not eligible; ContinuuMini players are welcome. The competition runs for three weeks, with weekly highlights on Haken’s YouTube channel. The winners are chosen by Gregoire Blanc, Rob Schwimmer, and Josh Madoff.
Full rules are in the official PDF on Google Drive. More at hakenaudio.com.
